Recent trials conducted by a specialist allergy group at the Murdoch Childrens Research Institute(MCRI) headed up by Associate Professor Mimi Tang ,have made a world first breakthrough in developing a tolerance in children to peanut allergies. The MCRI scientific team were very encouraged on the potential success of their innovative process, but Professor Tang emphasised the need for further tests to determine if the peanut tolerance was long term .This will require more research funding to achieve this important milestone.
